FAT.EM, Or., Pre. 15 (Special.)
T'nless a number of so-called anti
OleoJt members of the legislature at
tempt to prolong the special session
of the lawmaker to convene here
next Monday, for the sole purpose of
putting: the executive in a hoie. there
is no reason why the work of the
session should not be completed by
rriday noon.
This was the statement made here
durinc the past few days by a num
her of western Oreg-on legislators.
-.who stopped off In Salem en route to
and from Tortland. where they were
summoned to confer with members of
the Multnomah county delegation.
In actically every instance the
southern Oregon legislators declared
that they were opposed to a lengthy
session, and would protest any at
tempt to consider legislation other
than that Included In the governors
message. The message will be deliv
ered to the members of both houses.
In Joint session, prior to noon on the
open ins day of the assembly.
Anything Mny Happen.
Should it be possible to throw down
the bars to legislation, against the
wishes of the administration, then
there will be no telling what will
happen. It has been reported here
that many of the legislators have
bills to offer, but In most instances
these will be held back should there
be no general disposition to consider
legislation on a wholesale basis.
Hesides the legislation to be rec
ommended by the governor and bills
to be offered by the lawmakers, there
are a number of state officials who
would like to put over some meas
ures in behalf of their respective de
partments. Among these state offi
cials are a number of Governor Ol
cott's appointees.
T. B. Handley, ntate corporation
commissioner, has Intimated that at
le-asMwo laws regulating the affairs
tf his office need fixing, and that he
would welcome an opportunity to pre
acnt a couple of corrective measures.
Frank Uramwell, state superintend
ent of banks, also announced recently
that there is immediate need for leg
islation affecting his department. It
Is not believed here, however, that
Mr. Bramwell will Insist upon this
legislation until the next regular ses
sion of the lawmakers.
Supreme Court linn Iron In Fire.
Arthur Benson, clerk of the supreme
court, said today that an emergency
eri.sts in the affairs of the supreme
court, and that an amendment to the
ws of that department should be
considered at the special session. This
amendment probably will be prepared
by Mr. Benson and offered to the leg
islature for consideration.
From Astoria word has been re
ceived that an effort will be made to
Introduce several bills affecting the
fishing industry on the lower Co
lumbia river.
l.inn county will have a bill pro
viding means by which the county
may redeem approximately $250,000 of
unpaid warrants.
The Marion, county delegation, at
the instigation of county officials,
may introduce a bill intended to cor
rect the so-called budget law enacted
at the 1921 session of the lawmakers.
This law recently was attacked in the
local courts and the constitutionality
of the act probably will go to the
supreme court for final determin
ation. Income Tax Bill In Offline.
There also will be sevoj-al bills pro
viding for an Income tax. The major
ity of these measures probably will
be submitted by members of the up
state delegations, who are adverse to
the present system of taxation as it
affects the land.
A bill to appease the flax growers
of the Willamette vallev. who sold
j their product to the state under an
I. O. U. agreement also is being
considered. It was said today that
several members of the Marion county
delegation favored the approval of
legislation to this end.
iteports received at the capital also
Indicate that the so-called tax com
mittee appointed by Governor Olcott
some time ago to devise means for
raising additional revenue, may have
some recommendations to submit to
the legislature.
A state law strengthening the pres
ent statutes dealing with the sale of
narcotic drugs in Oregon also may be
introduced at the special session.
I plnn Ha Two Bills.
Senator Jay Upton of Prineville has
written friends in Salem that he has
a couple of bills tucked away in his
pockets which he may introduce
should the legislature submit to a
consideration of general legislation.
Not a few other legislators have
let it be known that they also are
desirous of introducing prospective
laws affecting the future welfare of
their respective districts.
In the year 1920 Governor Olcott
submitted five clean-cut recom
mendations to the legislature in spe
cial session, but before the assembly
adjourned a total of 95 bills had re
ceived consideration and had been
approved by both branches of the
law-making body. A majority - of
these bills later were vetoed by Gov
ernor Olcott.
State officials hope that the legis
lation at the coming special session
will be held down to the minimum,
but they have received no assurance
that their wishes will be gratified.

CHARITY FUNCTION" PIjAXXKD
TO ItAISE $5000.
Committees Are to Be amctl to Aid
Effort to Itelieve Those In Dis
tress From Unemployment.
A grand ball for the benef.it of the
unemployed of the city is to be held
in the City Auditorium on the eve
ring of Wednesday, January 18, ac
cording: to Mrs. William Mae'Master,
who has been named head of a com
mittee to have charge o' the affair by
teayor Baker.
Mrs. McMaster said yesterday that
It was necessary to raise not less than
$5000 to take care of Portland's needs
In this respect.
She expressed the belief that people
of the city did not realize the extent
of unemployment in Portland. , She
said that the mayor, who had taken
the initiative in the plans for the ball,
had emphasized the fact that many
are out of work, with little possi
bility of obtaining employment for
some time to come, and are conse
quently in need of help. The money
raised by the ball will be disbursed
by the unemployment committee, of
which Mayor Baker 's the head.
As vice-chairman of the committee
which is to have charge of arrange
ments for the ball, Mrs. Henry Ladd
Corbett and Cameron Squires have
teen named.
Mrs. MacMaster said that a large
committee would be formed with a
view to making the ball the biggest
thing of the kind ever held in the city
The leading civic bodies 'have prom
ised their co-operation and each or
ganization is arranging to appoint
lepresentatlves on the general com-ttnttee.
